Rake Wine Bar is now open on the SW corner of First Avenue and Third Street.

Vinicius Aboin (above) co-owns the space with Jorge Arias, who operates Urban Wines & Spirits on the corner ... which you can keep an eye on from the cafe...

As we mentioned back in December, Urban Wine & Spirits was opening a small wine bar — via a separate entrance on Third Street — in the shop's new corner space.

According to Rake's website, the cafe "is inspired by the many small 'mom and pop' wine bars that are located throughout Europe."

There's a food menu with a variety of bruschetta, fresh bread, olives, and meats and cheeses. The space accommodates about 20 people, with a few sidewalk tables weather permitting. There are plans for events such as wine tastings as well. 

The hours: 5-10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 2-11 p.m. on Friday; 1-11 p.m. on Saturday; and 1-10 p.m. on Sunday.

Rake has a space on the Urban Wine & Spirits website for future updates.

Jorge Arias, a partner in The Sampler in Bushwick, opened Urban Wine & Spirits on First Avenue in March 2014. 

The shop debuted in the corner space in late December, a few steps north of the previous spot.
